Got on the ferry and crossed over to Djurgården , past Grönalund ( Fun fair ) and made my way to the quayside where it is usually sheltered , nice and sunny and peaceful , away from the maddening crowds.
There's also a Thai food place ,quite secluded , consisting of a caravan kitchen , a couple of tables and chairs right on the water front and therefore an interesting view :)
The king prawn dish with chilli ,garlic, bamboo , srunchy veggies and rice was out of this world tasty and all for 85kr ( £8 )
Belly full, I share some rice with a little bird that drops by and then make my way back to the ferry as raindrops start falling on my head.
The ferry is packed full of people but I manage to find a seat , glad to be out of the rain.
By the time we get to the other side , it's stopped raining and I hop on a number 55 bus going to Hjorthagen . I've only a vague idea of where that is so this is one way to find out - one of the pleasures of having a travel card is that you can hop on and off as you like. Half an hour later we have reached the end of the line where the bus waits 15 minutes before heading back which lets me have a quick wander around.
Nothing much to see here. Houses and flats , greenery , a couple of gas pylons and a water tower . The place looks very small town suburban. I spot a school , pizzeria, hairdressers, small coop and the entrance to a tube station.
No. I wouldn't like to live here . I'm so happy I live where I do , I think to myself as get back on the bus and get off at Mariatorget . From there it is only a short walk to chez moi.
Mini adventure over.
Tomorrow's adventure awaits.
